As things stand now, in mid-August…do you see the 2026-27 Islanders as a playoff team? Personally, I do not. Or rather, they’re a bubble team at best. A couple guys’ return to health might help, but it also might take a while for Kyle Palmieri and Alex Romanov to truly get back up to speed. […]
The NHL’s annual summer team-by-team look has now rolled around to the Islanders. I’m not linking the fantasy outlook, but here are their posts about the non-fantasy team and prospects: Elsewhere
Another good morning (Rick!), afternoon or evening from our quiet summer where the Islanders added Matias Maccelli and subtracted Anders Lee, leaving us to view the return from season-ending injuries of Alex Romanov and Kyle Palmieri as the proverbial “like a new signing.” Islanders & Isles-Adjacent News Elsewhere
Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of your own actions. The Islanders have shared the eight finalists for the third-jersey vote, selecting variations that were submitted by fans according to templates that were probably always going to point in this direction.

The NHL’s arbitration hearing window is coming to an end, and alas we’ve been robbed of the theater that would be a…Alex Jefferies arbitration hearing. The Isles this week officially announced a one-year, two-way deal with their lone arbitration filing, a player many do not think of and certainly not one whose record (zero NHL […]
Summer meanders onward, but we are overdue for a fresh thread! Here’s some recent(ish) NHL and Isles links… Islanders News Elsewhere
The NHL has released its regular season schedule for 2026-27, a key step for arguing with friends and ticket-sharers over who gets what game and which ones will be season-ending losses. The Islanders open in Toronto, a meeting of the two most recent first-overall picks. The home opener follows on Saturday, Oct. 3, vs. the […]
